Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an efficient treatment for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) patients, according to a study published in the Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) otherwise referred to as shockwave therapy, was first introduced into clinical practice in 1982 for management of urologic conditions. The success of this technology for the treatment of urinary stones quickly made it a first-line, noninvasive, and effective method.
